Leonid Fireballs 2001
Abstract
All four CONCAMs that compose our current global network of continuously operating fisheye CCD cameras have recorded numerous fireballs during the recent peak of the 2001 Leonid Meteor Shower. A preliminary list of fireballs is listed below, each of which received over 10,000 raw counts (uncorrected for zenith angle) during a three minute exposure. This makes each one brighter than approximately visual magnitude -1.5 integrated over one second.
